Back to cool covers. Because I can't take much more crap this week. Maybe next week-who knows?
Seriously-if you don't think Devo are cool, then you are lame. Lamer than a lamoid who is lame as a lamey lamerson who is lame.
The Rolling Stones originally released this single in June of 1965, and would be on the subsequent full length album 'Out of Our Heads' the following month. A smash hit, the song gave the Stones their first number 1 single in the United States.
After controversy arose around the single in Europe (it was oringially played on pirate radio due to 'issues with the lyrics'), it was eventually released in the UK in August of 1965 and also reached number 1 there. This marked the Stones' fourth UK number one single. The song did not feature on the UK version of 'Out of Our Heads' since previously released singles were not added to albums at the time.
In 1978, after a number of years together, Devo released their first studio album entitled 'Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!'. Their cover of Satisfaction wa splaced right up front, as the second track on the first side of the album (just the second track now). The song was performed live by the band on an early episode of Saturday Night Live and remains a popular cover version by the band.
